okay, I have a lot to write about this adopt so I apologize for the scribbly writing all over the drawing and this huge post explaining it all! I made this kiddo while watching three star wars movies, which inspired their design a bit but made the timer way off. I kind of missed the halloween event and wanted to make up for it a little with a semi-spooky design before we move into our next event soon <33

they are a stripe-faced fruit bat that enjoys sword fighting, but they practice with wooden poles so they don't injure anyone! I can totally picture them playing around with lightsabers in their free time haha. and their eyes are super sensitive to light, so they tend to keep them closed unless it's night or they have sunglasses on to protect them C:

the wings probably look upside down, but fear not, they are like that for a reason! the angle is just looks a bit odd for their pose ;v;
although they have wings, this poor bat appears a bit too big for them! they can still move them like real wings; however, an attempted take-off jump usually results in them tumbling on the ground. they tend to keep them folded up against the back of their arms, unfolding them if need be to help steady their balance, but they will suddenly pop out if they become extremely happy or excited!

to adopt this fantastic fighter, just will out the form below and write an interesting story about them following this prompt: "I just wanted to make you something beautiful". this might be a bit hard since I chose this prompt from a very peaceful song I love to contrast the fierce design >v<

your story can have any plot and be about anything you like, just don't break any cs rules or go over 500 words. it can be as short as you'd like and doesn't have to meet that maximum, just make sure it is influenced by the prompt somehow!

this competition has no extras, but you can explain their name and list their pronouns if you want. prettying up is allowed, and you can have unlimited edits until december 1st at 12 am est (at night), which is when this contest ends. good luck !!

story ;;

Kova had worked for months. To this day, she had no idea how she did it, only that she had somehow created a ‘lightsaber.’ She remembers shakily clicking the button, seeing the blue blade extend. It didn’t look exactly like it did in the movies; she didn’t have any sort of Force crystal, of course. No, she had amplified a laser and somehow constrained it to a certain length.
Her best achievement. She had done it.
With a shaky laugh she had dashed out to go find her brother.
“Luxo!” she had called. Her twin had run up to her, grinning.
“How’s the inventing coming, sis?” he’d asked, lifting his dark sunglasses to inspect the weapon she held in her paw. “Woah is it done?”
Kova nodded and Luxo grinned, showing off small sharp teeth.
Looking back, the next choice they made was unbearably stupid. So, so stupid. Kova would curse herself forever because of it.

They wanted to have a duel. Luxo chose a thick steel beam and Kova wielded her newly made saber.
“You get a turn next,” she promised him. “It’s your birthday present after all.” Their birthday was the next day, and she wondered what he had made for her in return.
“Wahoo!” was Luxo’s response as they got into position. They did this all the time, though never with real weapons. And they’d gotten good at it too; it had taken years, but now they could fight and never even land a touch on each other.

What happened next was unavoidable. It all happened so fast. The first time Luxo had tried to counter Kova’s attack, the saber had sliced right through the steel… And right into him. He’d screamed and Kova had mirrored the cry, dropping the saber.
She’d called an ambulance and he’d gone to the hospital.
It wasn’t enough.
Kova was left, on her birthday, in the empty room they shared, cradling the invention that had caused all that heartbreak in her paws.
“I… I just wanted to make you something beautiful,” she whispered to the empty space and the weapon before her.

***
She always wondered what his present to her would have been. She wouldn’t have deserved it, as she thought back to that date. Crippling guilt was her world.
Then resolve had set in.
For all the years afterward, she would continue to practice her fighting skills, but she never used any sort of real weapon in combat again. Only wooden staffs that she carried strapped to her back.
But that lightsaber, that laser sword of her own invention, was always clipped to the belt she wore. For her, it was a reminder of her dear brother. And a warning to her and others not to make stupid, rash decisions.
She kept it for one other reason; she didn’t want it to fall into any other hands and cause the wielder as much pain as it had caused her.
Thus she named her weapon:
‘Sirdgela’
…
‘heartbreak.’

("I just wanted to make you something beautiful" prompt)

The fruit bat hummed and smiled as zhe picked up flower after flower and studied them, trying to find the perfect ones and they shook their head when they found ones which they did not like. They soon had gathered many small lilies, a few rose heads, and a daffodil and miniature sunflower. They gently scraped the thorns and things off the roses and such, and then began to weave the stems together and create a crown out of the pretty flowers. Soon, they had created a crown of flowers they thought was the most lovely which they had ever seen, and they hummed and smiled, zher wings popping open happily as zhe now started to search for fern fronds to make a bracelet. Zhe soon found some workable ones, and with a sound much like what a cat would make (despite being a bat), zhe started weaving the fern fronds into a bracelet and grinned when it was done. They squeaked happily, then headed to their 'brother', grinning as they held it out to him and softly said "I just wanted to make you something beautiful, so these are for you." The fox like bat tilted his head, then grinned as he took them and said "Thank you."

(Hope this is alright, and the idea is that the 'brother' actually died a few weeks after receiving these from them)

story ;; ("I just wanted to make you something beautiful" prompt)
She held the sword delicately in her hands. She was going to give it to her best friend and crush. The sword was decorated with, a story. A prince, trapped within his confinement of castle walls and wishes to see the outside world. A fellow knight reveals themself as female and tells him how to leave without being noticed. The prince honored the knight would think of such a detailed way to escape and even give up their life as a knight, he decideds he will bring her with him. The knight tries to get close to him and succeeds. Too close as she fall in love with him. One day, while the prince and the knight were having at the stars they proclaimed their undying love for him. The prince is suprised and looks at the knight who was trying to explain what they meant, stumbling over her words. The prince winced, as he was to be married to a rich and beautiful princess whom will give his life more meaning. But even worse was that he loved the princess back but also loved the knight. He looked over to the knight who's wings were splayed and a bit dirty from ruffhousing with him earlier, dirt was smudged on her cheeks and her sword was laying beside her. She was not fit to be a queen nor a princess and would only drag the kingdom down. He considered leaving the kingdom for good to life with her but realized it would only result in the exucution of her if and when they did find them. He looked away and sighed before turning back to her kissing her and then walking off ordering them to be on guard for any threats. After they returned to the kingdom they ignored the knight they were so close to. Talking to them only if nesicary and even then he spoke almost always less then 10 words at a time to her. He eventually got married to the fair princess and noticed a knight standing at the side not looking in his direction even though he was clearly motioning to tell them if there were threats or not. He stepped closer to the distracted knight and realized they were crying and recognized them as his friend. He felt a lump in his throat and walked away to dance with the princess, never to talk to them ever again.
Zarah steadied her breath and knocked on her crushes door. He opened up after the first knock and instantly noticed he detailed sword and asked her about it. She held it to him and said "it's for you! I hope you like it, as it took me forever to make.... and uh also I... I love you!" She by accident blurted out that she loved him and gasped. He looked at her and smiled "I'm sorry but I'm not looking to date anyone. Maybe in a year or two" and with that he kissed her.
